Thats looks good. matches just fine i think, maybe needs a few dents lol, also nice work on getting the sight setup, i have the same one on my 1918 bsa trainer.
Sooooooo..., what are you going to doing with the front handguard thats is missing the fingers? I happen to have the back half of a handguard from the band back, if you want to part with it some day send me a pm. |

How did you remove the oil from the wood? I always fail at it. Your work looks impressive in the second pic where all the excess oil has just vanished!

It was FTR'd somewhere in '42 (I think because that's the barrel date).

I apologize I missed this post completely till now. If you're still around, here's what I did. The rifle was wrapped in paper towels held in place by several rubber bands, then the whole thing was stuffed into a large garden trash-bag which was black. Then that was wrapped tightly as well. the whole thing was then sat on the dashboard of the mini-van in the direct sunlight. The whole mess was unwrapped & the oil-soaked towels replaced until no more oil came out. It took about a week with 6 changes of paper towels. Finally it was wiped down with denatured alcohol & the metal re-oiled.

The bayonet boss seems more "rounded" than my 1914 BSA. Its is unnumbered. There are no embossed marks of any kind on the butt stock. except the Slaz 44
